A number of different user interfaces were prototyped, including one that involved a multi-touch click-wheel.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Patel |first=Nilay |date=January 11, 2017 |title=Tony Fadell tells us the story of the iPod-based iPhone prototype |url=https://www.theverge.com/2017/1/11/14240918/apple-interview-ipod-iphone-prototype-tony-fadell |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220315045212/https://www.theverge.com/2017/1/11/14240918/apple-interview-ipod-iphone-prototype-tony-fadell |archive-date=March 15, 2022 |access-date=February 3, 2022 |website=[[The Verge]] |publisher=[[Vox Media]] |language=en}}</ref>

It also featured a version of [[Safari (web browser)|Safari]], the web browser from [[macOS|Mac OS X]], built around the mobile touchscreen interface of the iPhone. Other apps included iPod, for playback of music synced from a [[Mac (computer)|Mac]] or [[Personal computer|PC]] to an iPhone; Mail, for composing, viewing, and receiving [[email]]s; Phone, for taking or making calls, viewing or adding contacts, and listening to voicemails; and Settings, for customizing the behavior of the iPhone as well as its built-in apps, among others.
